Explain why everything else entertainment wise is seeing a boost in revenue during the pandemic then. Netflix subs are up. The NFL Draft did record numbers. People are thirsty for entertainment right now, yet WWE, one of the few entertainment companies still fully operating is seeing historically low ratings every week.

Lack of audiences. I literally already explained that one for you. No one wants to watch wrestling without an audience. WWE is also limited on how many performers they can use and when and several talents can't even make it to shows. Tessa Blanchard can't even enter the country to defend her belt for Impact.

I stopped watching Raw and SD a week or so back because they just fill several segments with matches from the WWE Network and that's not because of Seth and Becky. That's because of the pandemic and how they have to run their shows right now.

 

[nWo4Lyfe420]

That's a lame excuse and a false one. If the NFL, NBA or MLB started playing games with empty stadiums people would still watch. No one watches sports (even fake ones) for the crowds.

GFK the king of vague

 

[Swamps]

The lack of an audience has hurt WWE big time

 

[Petty]

I'm being sarcastic Chris.

 

[Chris]

I don't watch sports for the crowds, but I've said for years wrestling crowds can make or break a show

 

[Smart Marx]

Real sports and wrestling are completely different. The only thing false is your weird hangup to blame pandemic booking on Seth and Becky.

 

[Chris]

Rasslin' is the only real sport btw

 

[Swamps]

Not having a live audience is the reason a lot of folks tuned out.

 

[nWo4Lyfe420]

WWE crowds are dead most of the time anyway.
